    Dry brine

    What are people doing for their dry brine time frames for pork shoulder and brisket? 12 hours? 24? 48?

    How much salt per pound?

    Do you wrap in plastics/vacuum seal or let exposed to air?

    I'm cooking for 20 Saturday. I have pork shoulder, brisket,(just a 3.5 lb flat) and two chickens. I'm going to be rocking the PBC and weber 22.

    I like 3/8 teaspoon table salt per pound for big thick meats. I prefer 48 hours.

        I salted the brisket and pork shoulder that I'll be using. I make my rubs usually riffing off of the MH's stuff. No salt in the rubs. I got two pork shoulders from Costco for the for the first time. I cut them in half as best I could prepped the most equal looking halves for Saturday. I'm hoping for similar cook times but the thermometers will let me know. The rest is salted and rubbed for future use in the freezer.

        I may have sliced off the money muscle on each for me and the lady!
